Checking in here on day 770. Been feeling sick and getting worse for a couple weeks now. On Friday I got a script from my doctor and I’m finally starting to feel better but my head still feels like it’s in a fog. Grateful for a couple days off work, staying vigilant about this downtime, and taking advantage of it to spend a little extra time on recovery. Grateful for this community. I hope you all have a sober day.
Checking in… day 2.
Have a good evening!
That’s so awesome and Congrats!! I just picked up my 6 months last week and it feels amazing!! Keep coming back!!!
Checking in Day 16. First business trip since the holidays and had to entertain some of my favorite clients. They were drinking hard. I am so grateful that being around alcohol isn’t hard for me. It’s hard when I am alone in an airport however. Have a great night/day everyone!
Still going strong!
Day 449.64
Right now, in this moment, I am OK.
And for some strange reason, I’m having a hard time believing it’s already been 450 days.
Is not easy, but it is worth it.
Thinking of you
Closing out day 21 by reading in bed. Three weeks in and I feel good. It’s amazing some of the little benefits I’m experiencing. I knew I’d lose some of my excess weight by eliminating alcohol, I knew I’d sleep better, and I knew I’d have more energy, but I wasn’t expecting to see clearer skin, sweat less, and… feel this good all around, I guess.
Day 443. Really solid appointment with my psychologist. Efficient, challenging, and responsive to my needs/situation. After that, I also had a real live human conversation where it wasn’t someone’s job to talk to me! (I’m sure those of you who’ve lived alone can relate).
Had a psychiatrist appointment too. Not sure how I feel about proposed medication changes. At least the substances going into my system these days are useful!
Day 27 here
Day 41 and I’m going to bed tired lol
Day 6. Trying to work harder this time. Went to an online meeting last night. Checking in here. Got some books to read. Trying to pause and reflect and move forward. One day at a time.
Checking in day 164 have a good day all!
Checking in at the start of day 2 no alcohol no cigarettes. A little nervous because I have 5 days off this week, but I am going to structure that time with exercise and look into online meetings. Taking it one day at a time. Have a strong day everyone
Day 204! Not feeling too good but I hope it will be a great day once I get started.
Wishing you all luck with your next 24 hours!
Day 487. I’m thinking about my daily routine and how every part, no matter how small, is like a keystone; when it’s missing, the whole thing comes tumbling down. I need to figure out how to continue with my routines even when certain elements are missing or different. We are creatures of habit after all.
Stay beautiful gang.
I have same problem like you ! Business trip are not easy also for me … airport alone not easy also for me ! Be strong , I’m with you and understand your struggle !
@RedDragon, @Robketts also do them.
I think that perhaps you have been lucky or unfortunate, depending on your point of view to have found one that is just starting up.
My understanding is that once someone is trained as a facilitator then they can start a meeting.
@Frantasticooo, as Cate says should also be able to shed some like on it.
Well done for getting out of your comfort zone.
